Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam—a feat that is likely the first of its kind.This […]
Urban real-world environments have limited physical space for foot-based locomotion and present challenges to natural VR locomotion (since virtual environments are much larger than the corresponding real-world environment), a fact that has been noted in […]
Cornell University researchers have developed a silent-speech recognition interface that uses acoustic-sensing and artificial intelligence to continuously recognize up to 31 unvocalized commands, based on lip and mouth movements.This post was originally published on this […]
Whether drilling, turning or milling: In machining—as well as in primary forming and re-forming, die casting and many other applications—tools are of pivotal importance for industrial production. Their performance significantly influences both the quality and […]
Say goodbye to games controllers or keyboards, say hello to highly flexible, ultrathin silicone films. Professor Stefan Seelecke and his team at Saarland University are currently developing a novel type of technology that allows humans […]
Imagine a movie about a rogue employee who breaches security in a company that implants chips inside half of the world’s computers. They embed a Trojan in systems around the globe and hold the world […]
The case for building Scalable Neuromorphic Networks is this: like humans, smarter chips have a larger, tighter neural network. Indeed, neural networks are the current state-of-the-art for machine learning. This isn’t robotics, where a non-sentient […]
Everyone is talking about the newest AI and the power of neural networks, forgetting that software is limited by the hardware on which it runs. But it is hardware, says USC Professor of Electrical and […]
Many homes have electronic timers for automatically turning lights on or off automatically the same time each day. However, the precise control of larger electrical devices requires more sophisticated electronics. Scientists from the Institute of […]
Attackers have the ability not only to manipulate software, but also to tamper with the hardware. A team from Bochum is devising methods to detect such tampering.This post was originally published on this site.
